      He said nothing about Kirk. He said that the MAGA people are doing everything they can to make the shooter appear as “not one of theirs” and then he attacked Trump for treating Kirk dying like a four year old treats a goldfish dying. That’s it.

      In that clip he didn’t reference Kirk directly just the event iirc.
